Large road with a large bus stop (it's covered, so you can use it as a shelter when it's raining). Lots of people driving downtown, useful for outbound hitches as well.―Anonymous

There aren't really any good spots here, but Bus number 1 from Reykjavik stops very near by (When you reach Hafnarfjörður, just ask the driver to let you know when you're close to Reykjanesbraut) and you'll kind of have to walk along the road with your finger out. The road shoulder is not bad though, so cars can stop if they see you in time. Not good, but it works.―Anonymous

This is a really good place for hitching down south towards the coast. Had to wait about 10-15 minutes. I would walk onto the highway ramp to catch as many cars as possible.―Pseudodoc

Didn't wait at all, the first Icelandic car I waved down stopped :DHitching in Iceland in October was unbelievably easy - the first day I got 7 rides east on the Ring Road and didn't wait once over 5 minutes. Icelanders pick up so much and so fast. They told me in the summer it gets really crowded with hitch-hikers and they often don't have space, so I was apparently lucking out on hitching in the fall :) Was a bit chilly and dark to camp out though.
Hitching up to Höfn couldn't be easier, than I had to wait my time, beacuse a car passed maybe every 20 minutes. From Höfn to Egilsstaðir, and up to Akureyri is the hardest part (waited 2 hours once as so little passed by), then from Akureyri it gets really easy again.

I usually got a ride here in less than 2 minutes. Has enough space for cars to pull down, simply perfect! [AdrianB] -HUNGAROHITCH for prez!―Anonymous

I got a ride from here to Mosfelsbaer. Maybe I was lucky. Not the best place to hitchhike.―Anonymous

I recommend to walk 500m backwards, there is a nice and loooong bus stop, so cars can stop easily! ;] [AdrianB]―Anonymous

If you are heading south using the road no. 1 towards Selfoss then this is the place where to wait in Reykjavik.There is a big Olís gas station nearby (before the roundabout) but I prefer to wait after the roundabout - cars are passing by slowly and it's not so busy place. But it depends on your preferences - both possibilities are great.
You can walk there or get there by bus no. 19 or 5 (station Helluvað).
